The SC8800-S may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for

Ethernet when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and one when the

SC8800-S is supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small

cell or micro cell radio. When the SC8800-S uses RJ-45 cables,

connect and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands (B in

Figure 1).

1 Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring,

clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown in Figure

CAUTION! THE MINIMUM SOFTWARE REVISION FOR

THE SC8800-S IS ZONEFLEX (ZF) 9.6.1 OR LATER.
